The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

NOTE

The History of Artificial Intelligence

Ada Lovelace was a very complex figure in her time, and probably a good full length biography, but somewhat tragic./nShe became addicted to drugs, addicted to gambling, you know, gambled away the family jewels, had a pain life with opium, trying to kill the paint./nBut so she was not a great figure of history, but she did lay down the idea that machines could do everything except think on their own, that machines could not be creative, that it took the humans to be creative ones, to come up with new ideas.
